(00:00) In the 1980s, a film crew entered Indonesia and recorded a man whose body appeared to generate electricity. >> Like you can touch me like this. It's nothing, okay? It's my brain. Uh it's like this. >> His name was John Chang, and what the crew felt through his hands was only the first demonstration.
(00:21) There were no visible wires, no machine beside him. Then, Chang attempted something the filmmakers could not explain as easily. >> Later, he told us that anybody could learn this. God had given us all the yin yang polarity. But it takes discipline and meditation to awaken and control it. >> Chang said this was not magic.
(00:42) He claimed it was the result of combining two forces inside the human body, forces that anyone possessed, but almost no one was trained to control. But John Chang had already gone further, and what happened next caused him to withdraw from the world. To the people who knew him, Chang was not primarily a performer.
(01:06) He was described as a healer living quietly in Indonesia, treating patients through acupuncture and a system of internal practice that outsiders would later identify with Mel Pai. He explained that the human body contained two opposing forms of energy, yin and yang. Most people, he said, possessed both, but had no idea how to develop them.
(01:30) They generated energy, used it through movement, emotion, and thought, then allowed it to disperse. The first demonstration could have been dismissed as suggestion. A man touched John Chang, feels a sharp current, and pulls away. Perhaps he expected something to happen. Perhaps the reaction became stronger because everyone in the room was watching.
(01:54) But then, Chang repeated it. >> Our sound recordist, Simi, was skeptical at first. >> He allowed the sensation to pass through different people. He appeared to send it through acupuncture needles already inserted into a patient's body. The muscles reacted. The people around him laughed nervously.
(02:17) Cheng remained calm throughout it. He did not build suspense before each attempt. He simply placed his hands, concentrated for a moment, and watched as the person in front of him reacted. Then the demonstration changed. Cheng tore a small piece of paper, held it beneath his hand, and focused. At first, nothing happened. Then a thin line of smoke appeared.
(02:41) The material darkened. Moments later, it began to burn. The footage recorded the fire. It did not reveal what caused it. There were obvious questions. Had the paper been chemically prepared? Was there a concealed source of heat? Could the electrical reactions have been produced by a hidden device? The conditions were informal, the camera angles limited, and the demonstrations were not designed as controlled
(03:26) scientific experiments. Yet, each new display made the previous one harder to forget. If Cheng had shown only the electrical sensation, the film might have survived as an unusual curiosity. If he had shown only the burning paper, it could have been dismissed as a trick. But together, the demonstrations suggested a system with more than one effect.
(03:51) And Cheng insisted that all of them came from the same internal process. >> In young positive and negative you know. And my positive from here and my negative from here and we meet together this can get a like electricity. >> Decades after John Chang was filmed in Indonesia, Mel Gibson described an encounter that sounded disturbingly familiar.
(04:15) The man Gibson met was not John Chang. He was an unnamed Qigong practitioner from Shanghai. Someone Gibson said had first trained in conventional medicine before studying an older system of internal healing. Gibson said the man could stand several feet away, point toward his body and produce a force that felt physically real, not warmth, not imagination.
(04:39) >> have a Qigong master. This is what kind of blows my mind about medicine >> [clears throat] >> and about ancient stuff. >> Mhm. >> This guy is from Shanghai. He didn't speak much English, right? A little bit. His wife would translate for him. And he'd come in and he could like point at you, right? From this far away and you'd feel it.
(05:06) But like feel it like to the as palpable as someone pushing you around. It's >> pressure. At one point, Gibson described being placed against a wall while the practitioner directed the force toward him. His body reacted. His heels began to rise from the floor. >> And he hit me he started yelling at my organ, at my liver. Like, "Get out.
(05:26) " You know, whatever. And I I went up the wall and there was like 8 in of air under my heels and I was up the wall and I was like, "Whoa." And I came back down. It freaked me out. >> The answer was almost identical to the way John Chang described his own demonstrations. To understand the worldview behind those claims, we have to turn to a teacher who spent decades explaining the hidden architecture of the human body.
(05:53) His name was Michio Kushi. Michio Kushi was not demonstrating electricity or setting people on fire. He was attempting something quieter, teaching people how an older system understood the human body before its most extraordinary claims were separated from the philosophy behind them. >> Two ways we live. Same thing about body.
(06:15) We receive two ways. Heaven and earth. Okay? Same thing, each cell receive two ways. Two different direction energies. Okay? And there arise us. Okay? So, in some sense, it is important you can understand not only eating, but also exercise. Okay? Moving. Moving. Keep busy. Chant the chanting or singing the the song.
(06:47) That's energize in different energies. Okay? So, cells becoming more alive. Activated. Okay? Right? >> In Kushi's model, a human being was not an isolated machine sealed beneath the skin. The body existed inside a constant exchange with food, air, movement, emotion, the ground beneath it, and the environment surrounding it.
(07:14) He used the word key to describe the forces moving through that exchange. To a modern viewer, terms such as key, meridians, and energy centers can sound mystical. But Kushi presented them as part of a practical education, a way of observing how breath, posture, diet, attention, and environment continually alter what a person feels inside the body.
(07:41) Modern education teaches us to calculate the movement of distant planets, operate machines, and communicate across the world. Yet, most people receive almost no serious training in how to observe one breath, release unnecessary tension, or keep their attention fixed inside the body. That was the missing education Kushi believed earlier traditions had preserved.
(08:07) They did not begin by asking how a person could project energy. They began by teaching the practitioner to recognize how energy was already being received, transformed, and lost every moment. This was also the foundation beneath John Chang's explanation. Chang said the force witnessed by the filmmakers was not created in his hands. It had been collected lower in the body, stabilized through years of practice, and only then directed outward.
(08:36) Kushi gave the mystery a forgotten language, but beneath that language was a fact no modern laboratory disputes. The human body does not merely contain energy as a spiritual metaphor. It is electrically alive. The language had changed, but the body had not. Long before scientists could measure it, traditional systems described the human being as a network of moving forces.
(09:03) Modern biology uses different terms, yet it begins from a related observation. Every movement, sensation, and heartbeat depends upon electrical activity. Nerves communicate through rapid electrochemical signals. Muscles contract when electrical impulses reach them. Every living cell maintains a difference in electrical charge between its interior and the world outside it.
(09:31) Remove that difference, and the cell can no longer function normally. The heart is guided by its own electrical conduction system. The brain's activity can be recorded through changing electrical patterns. Even the smallest movement of a finger begins with signals traveling from the nervous system into muscle.
(09:51) John Chang's claim, therefore, did not begin with the absurd idea that the body contained electricity. That part was already true. The unanswered question was whether years of internal training could concentrate that activity, alter it, or somehow direct a force beyond the body strongly enough for another person to feel it. There's no accepted scientific evidence that ordinary nerve impulses can be projected from the hands in the way Chang described.
(10:21) The electrical activity inside the body is real. The mechanism claimed in the footage remains unproven. But consciousness is not entirely separated from these systems. Breathing can change heart rate and arousal. Attention can alter the way pain is experienced. Biofeedback can teach people to influence physical responses they previously experienced as automatic.
(10:45) The boundary is not absolute. It can be trained. And this was where Chang said mopai began, not by producing fire, shocking another person, or chasing extraordinary abilities, but by learning to remain still enough to notice what the body was already doing. Only after that awareness became stable, could the practitioner attempt something far more difficult, collecting the energy that ordinary life continually allowed to escape.
(11:16) According to Chang, yang energy could be developed through the body's own internal activity. Yin was different. It was not something that practitioners simply manufactured by breathing harder, concentrating longer, or forcing sensation into the abdomen. It had to be received. Within mopai, yin was described as a colder, heavier force connected to the Earth and to a level of the human system that ordinary awareness cannot easily reach.
(11:44) Cheng claimed that a person could accumulate Yang while sitting above the ground, but the more advanced stages required direct contact with the Earth itself. This was why certain forms of insulation were said to interfere with the training. The practitioner was not merely meditating inside the body anymore.
(12:03) It was attempting to establish a connection between the energy stored within him and a second force outside him. This was the point where the explanations became difficult to translate into modern language. To an outsider, Yin and Yang sounded symbolic. Darkness and light, cold and heat, stillness and movement, but Cheng spoke about them as if they were physically distinct. Yang could be stored.
(12:28) Yin could be drawn upward. And when the two were finally brought together, the result behaved unlike either force alone. He compared the process to a battery. A battery does not produce useful power because it contains only one charge. It works because two opposing potentials are held apart and then allowed to interact through a controlled path.
(12:51) Cheng claimed the trained human body could operate according to a similar principle. Yang accumulated within the lower dantian. Yin entered from below. The practitioner became the point at which the two forces met. In his explanation, the electrical sensation felt by the filmmakers was not raw nerve activity escaping through his skin.
(13:13) It was the external effect created when Yin and Yang were combined and directed through intention. There is no established scientific evidence confirming that this process occurs as Cheng described it. The language belongs to the internal logic of Mo Pai, not accepted physiology, but it explains why Chang rejected the idea that he possessed a supernatural gift.
(13:39) A gift arrives without understanding. His ability, he insisted, has been constructed through stages, restrictions, and years of training. And if his account was accurate, the current that shocked the film crew was not the final achievement. It was the first visible result of becoming a human circuit. Eventually, several researchers were given the opportunity to examine John Chang more closely.
(14:06) The problem was that Chang never entered the kind of laboratory designed to eliminate every possible explanation. Most of the surviving tests took place in ordinary rooms, hotels, or private spaces, where the equipment was limited and the conditions were partly controlled by Chang himself. Investigators brought measuring devices.
(14:27) They watched his hands, examined the surrounding area, and attempted to determine whether the current felt by participants could be traced to a hidden electrical source. During some demonstrations, small instruments reportedly reacted. In others, witnesses described the same sharp sensation that had surprised the original film crew.
(14:49) But none of these tests produced the kind of evidence that could settle the question. A scientific result must be repeatable. The conditions must be transparent. Every ordinary mechanism must be ruled out, and independent researchers must be able to reproduce the effect without relying on the presence of one difficult-to-access individual.
(15:10) That never happened with John Chang. The footage remained impressive, but incomplete. The reactions looked genuine, yet the camera could not show what existed outside the frame. The paper appeared to ignite beneath his hand, but the material was not always prepared and examined by an independent team. The people who felt the electrical sensation were convinced by their experience, but personal conviction is not the same as measurement.
(15:41) Skeptics proposed several possibilities. A concealed electrical device could create a painful current. Chemicals could make paper ignite at a lower temperature. Expectation could intensify physical reactions. Selective editing could remove failed attempts and preserve only the successful ones. None of these explanations has been demonstrated conclusively in Chang's case.
(16:06) But Chang's explanation was not demonstrated conclusively, either. This is why the story survived. The evidence was too strange to dismiss without looking, but too uncontrolled to accept without hesitation. Every demonstration seemed to move the mystery forward while leaving the central question exactly where it began.
(16:28) And as outsiders pushed for stronger tests, Chang became increasingly reluctant to continue. Then came one final demonstration, an act that, according to those around him, crossed a boundary he had been warned never to cross. The final break did not happen inside a laboratory. It happened around an ordinary table.
(16:50) In the surviving footage, John Chang picks up a wooden chopstick and places its tip against the surface. He does not raise it like a weapon or strike downward with force. He braces his palm behind it, concentrates, and begins to press. Slowly, the chopstick enters the table. To the people watching, this appeared to be another demonstration of the same force Chang claimed to direct through his hands.
(17:18) But unlike the earlier experiments, this one was not presented as healing. It had no patient, no acupuncture treatment, and no practical purpose. It was power displayed simply because outsiders wanted to see what else he could do. And that distinction mattered. According to accounts written by people close to Chang, his teacher had required him to make three promises.
(17:41) Never use the ability for evil. Never use it for profit. And never demonstrate it publicly except under restricted circumstances. Chang reportedly believed that these were not symbolic moral suggestions. They were binding conditions attached to the training itself. The chopstick passed through the surface, but the demonstration became disorderly.
(18:04) A fragment reportedly broke away and struck one of the observers, drawing a small amount of blood. The injury was minor. The people present initially laughed it off. Chang did not. By the following day, his attitude had changed. In later retellings, he said that he had been reprimanded for crossing the limits placed upon him.
(18:28) Whether this warning came through meditation, conscience, tradition, or as believers claimed, communication with his deceased teacher, cannot be independently established. But, the consequence was real. Chang became far less willing to perform for outsiders. This is often simplified into the claim that he was silenced.
(18:49) Yet, no government arrived. No institution publicly banned him. The pressure came from within the system he had sworn to obey. For researchers, a demonstration had to be repeated until every possible trick was eliminated. For Chang, repeating it for strangers may have been the violation itself. The two worlds wanted opposite things.
(19:12) Science demanded greater exposure. The tradition demanded restraint. Every new test that might have convinced the outside world risked taking Chang further from the rules that gave his training meaning. And so, at the precise moment when the world wanted more evidence, John Chang began to disappear from it. The current felt by the filmmakers may have come from a process they did not understand.
(19:35) The burning paper may have had an ordinary explanation that the camera failed to reveal. The stories surrounding Mo Pai may have expanded each time they were repeated. But even if every extraordinary claim were removed, something important would remain. Most human beings spend their entire lives inside a body they have barely been taught to understand.
(19:59) We learn to operate machines before we learn to regulate our own attention. We study electrical circuits while remaining unaware of the signals producing every movement, sensation, and heartbeat within us. We search for advanced technology outside ourselves, yet struggle to sit silently with one breath.
(20:20) John Chang believed the body was not a finished object. It was an instrument whose deeper functions appeared only through training. Not whether John Chang became superhuman, but whether ordinary human life represents only a fraction of what disciplined attention can uncover. Being human is not about becoming superhuman. It is about realizing that being human is already super, and that most of us have barely begun the education required to understand it.
(20:49) And perhaps that is why John Chang's story still refuses to disappear. It does not ask us merely to believe in one extraordinary man. It asks us to reconsider what an ordinary human being might be. If this investigation changed the way you see the body, subscribe to the channel.
